various European nations continue TO De

that an onward movement IS more llkelY

of soldiers armed and ready for fight III
Europe today. The very expense OF
such armies makes continued peace In
possible Where the outbreak may occur
is hard to say, but all the governments
of Europe are 81 entangled in alliances

The Old story.

about g, 600, O09 tax reduction. 0.
II is an injustice TO the people and a
TepTOach 70 our sO-Called statesmarship
that this condition of things should have
continued so long. During an extended
period Of business depression, in which
the people needed to be relieved of every
unnecessary burden, they have been
taxed to make forced payments upon a
public debt not yet due, and bearing a
rate Of interest not more than half as
large as they have on an average been
compelled to pay for the mohey necessa-
ry for carrying on business. If our Ta-
tiOn had been prosperous, it would have
been only right to leave for pOsterity to
pay some of the cost of a restored and
Tegenerated Union from which it will
receive immeasurable good. Inasmuck
as our country has suffered from busi-
ness depression and Labor troubles, it is
dOubly wrong that 1t has been compelled
TO bear the burden of wholly unnecessary
taxation.

THE House Committee on Invalid
Pensions has repoEed adversely on the
Senate bill granting Mrs Logan a pen
sion. The press has been almoSo NJ
nous in advocating a pensInsr,er in f,s
true light looking arf the rep,rt rpsf
be conceded. it argues that the grant
ing OF the pension TO Mrs. Logan would
be establishing a bad precedent, and
that should Congress pass the bill, and
by future legislation maintain that fair
ness and consistency which should
characterize all legislation, the widows
of two hundred and dfty-nine majors
and rear aJmiraIs would be given each
a pension Of $4,000 per year. Since it is
not claimed that the death of General
Logan was attributed TO his military
services it would simply be a Government
donation TO Mrs. Logan 10 grant her a
pension. She is undoubtedly a very
worthy and estimable widow lady, but
there are thousands OF them in the
country far more needy and just as wor.
thy as she. If, therefore, the basis OF
+ granting pensions is the amount of cred.
/ It and sympathy due a bereft widow
/ then let every widow IN the land band
in her affidavit and receive her two
/ thOusand-dOllar annuity. If the Gov
eminent is not going into the alms-di.
/ tributing business, the line had bette,
be drawn between the pension roll anC

THE current gossip concerning Brig
ham Young's temperance on earth,
OF more strictly speaking his re-appear-
ance on this cOntinent.-fO if he does
come it will be from London instead of
the grave-seems to have aroused much
interest both in the Mormon and the
Gentle world. If l. should transpire
that such a delus1On has been practiced,
it would evince the desperate straits to
which the Mormon church was driven
to bolster up and perpetuate belief in its
doctrine. If he does not appear, TO the
disappointment of his followers, it will
cause the unfounded faith of Mormonism
tC Se deserted as the occupants of an
unstable house flee on the approach of
an earthquake. If, however, the whole
story is a canard, it may still serve a
good purpose in opening the eyes of
some of the deluded followers of the
self-constituted prophet.

THE following concurrent resolution
was adopted in the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature on Monday:
''REsOLvED That the PENNSYLVANIA
Representatives and Senators in Con-
gress be requested to give all possible
assistance by their vote and influence to
promote proper scheme for a sufficient
defense of all our sea coast and for the
building of such navy as will command
the respect OF the world, and be able to
protect our seaports in case of necessity. y
The resolution specially refers to the
city OF Philadelphia, as 50 situated as to
be in as great need of defense as any of
the s6abCard cities.

IT is gwen out in a semi-official way,
that the President will sign the Inter
State Commerce Bill. His chief anxiety
is about the men to be appointed Com
missiOners. The doubts in regard TO the
construction of some sections of the
bill, the President is reported to have
said, make it all the more important that
the right men should be appointed to
put the new law into operation. He
frankly admitted that the most difficult
task he had to perform, when Governor
o. New \ ork, was tie appointment of
the Railroad Com mission, and that the
present task was still more peTplexing.
He was anxious to secure not only men
whose names would be a guarantee for
the honest administration of this fmpOr-
tant trust, but at the same time men
Thoroughly competent to deal with the
difficult questions that were bound to
come up for solution. II is not likely
political influence will have much to do
with their appointment.

THE President on Monday signed the
Mexican Pension bill, which provides

THE strike Of the dock hands and
freight handlers, in New York City,
Brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken, is
a repetition Of the ilI-advised methods
which have been so often tried and
proven futile the last few years. If it
were possible 20 accomplish the ends de-
sired by strikes. then the labOring men
who so often resort to them, should re-
ceive much credit for their persistence
In a worthy cause. But when the meth
Cd is not only un-American, but nearly
always unsuccessful, it is hard TO ex-
plain its attraction. Strikes could at
one time be accounted for on the ground
of ignorance and delusion of the strik-
ers, who blindly followed the advice of
visionary or unprincipled leaders, but
the thorough organization of working
men at the present time, coupled with
their past experience and the facilities
they have at hand for information on
the subject and the principles of the X.

THE river and harbOT dill. which pass

in the aggregate as some former bills OF
this kind have been, nor as big bv a good
many thousands, aud perhaps millions

appropriations for nearly all the object

which makes it most Objectionable, rath-

THE Additional Magistrates bill,
pending some time in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, has at last become law.
having received the approval of the
majoIities of both Houses and the sigma
ture of the Governor. The measure was
passed against the wishes of the people
at large, and was vetoed 10y Governor
Pattison on constitutional grounds. The
two Administrations are evidently at
variance in their Interpretation of the
